Surrealism Claude Cahun

Claude Cahun was a French artist, photography who looked at surrealism with in gender. These self portraits of her are a variation of feminine and masculine, she dramatically changes her appearance to make the viewers question the gender. For example her photographs show such a diverse range of sexual identity, on one image she appears to have short hair with a stubbed chin which is contrast to her other image appearing to be a doll like female with extravagant make up. However the interesting part of this work is on some images she shows androgyny within her photos looking past both genders.
